...shocks. People need shocks to carry them on shocks on a glorious level." Last week the Charles Lloyd Quartet had shocks aplenty for the rockers at Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco's hangar-sized discotheque. Though modern jazz normally goes over with teen agers like a 9 p.m. curfew, Lloyd's passionate attack held them spellbound. Wrapping his gangling frame around his tenor saxophone, he explored the full range of the instrument, ricocheting be tween hoarse blats and urgent bleats, pouring out great churning whirlpools of sound. Dipping and bobbing as he played, he flew off on melodic tangents...
Death Throes. First, Los Angeles County police went after the "juvies" (minors under 18), began carting them off by the busload last summer for violating a 10 p.m. curfew dating back to 1939. As arrests increased 300%, grumbles soon grew to rumbles.

...floor, the intruder used his knife to rip strips from a bunk-bed sheet and from a cotton dress, then tied the girls up. Meanwhile, three other nurses who had been out late-Sue Farris, Mary Jordan and Gloria Davy-returned home before their 12:30 a.m. curfew, were surprised by the intruder, and were forced to join his bedroom captives. "There were some light outcries by the girls who came in late, but it wasn't much," said Miss Amurao. "He made them lie on the floor with the rest of us." Before binding and gagging each girl...
